Greenville was 34 years old when he enlisted in Amherst Johnson Guard at Millner’s Store on 15 August 1861. Elected First Lieutenant. Captain William A. Higginbotham, Commanding. Amherst Johnson Guards become Company F, 58th VA. 1 May ‘62 - Greenville elected Captain of Company F. Fought in Valley Campaign uner Stonewall Jackson from 6 May ‘62 until 17 June ‘62 - Jackson’s Army leaves for Richmond. Left camp for Waynesboro, through Jarman’s Gap. Boarded railroad at Mechum’s River Station. Took railroad through Charlottesville to Beaver Dam Station near Richmond. Battle of Gaines Mill, 27 June ‘62 - Departed Hundley’s corner for Old Cold Harbor to attack Federal right flank. Ewell’s Division (and the 58th) was at the head of the column. Elzey’s Brigade sent into battle to the right of D. H. Hill’s division. Elzey’s opposition on the attack was Sykes Division, 2nd Brigade (Lovell), including the 2nd, 6th, 10th, 11th, and 17th US Regiments (Regulars). It was during this engagement of the Battle of Gaines Mill that Captain Greenville Camden was mortally wounded. He died on July 18, 1862. I can find no record of his hospitalization or his burial. Greensville was not wounded at Gaines Mill but remained with the 58th until they left Richmond and moved north. He was killed by Martin L Brown as CO F camped near Orange VA. Brown was a former LT in Company F. Brown was found innocent at trial because no witnesses were able to attend (they were away fighting).
